Good evening, welcome back to the Flat Cap Nationalist Podcast. This is episode number twenty six. Devolution is my name. When Napoleon Bonaparte entered Moscow on the fourteenth of september eighteen twelve, he understandably believed he was at the cusp of a great victory. He's taken a very powerful city in the Russian Empire. And he'll be able to leverage this for a settlement of peace or surrender from the ruling Russian royal family based in St. Petersburg. However, when he entered the city, he found it had been abandoned. It had been stripped of its wealth, stripped of its resources, its food, water, supplies, everything you uh everything you'd expect to find in such a mighty city, leaving him there for facing the dreaded Russian winter without adequate means of resupplying his army. It's obviously an enormous blow to his ambitions, to his Russian campaign, and to the prospects of his war efforts. I'm gonna put a pin in this, we'll circle back around to this a little bit later. So the the title of this episode, Devolution is my name, because it does seem to be very much the flavour of the moment, doesn't it? So back when Andy Burnham took the reins of power in July, one of the early things that he set out to um establish was his intention to devolve more powers to the mayors, different mayorships around the country. Effectively taking some power away from the central government and distributing it to mayors such as the mayor of London, the mayor of Manchester. And he'd probably want to split the country up into different mayorships, you know, so they can decentralise power. Now a while back I I did an episode, I can't remember which one it was in, but I was talking about this need that the left has to centralise power under its own command. And one of the ways, funnily enough, that I think they're seeking to achieve this is through this devolution, this decentralisation of power as it stands. Now, going back to Tony Blair in the 90s, one of the things that he did, he took a lot of powers away from the central government and divested that power into different quangos and arm's length bodies that are effectively not considered to be part of the government, but which are in fact very much so. They're funded by the government, they are staffed by the people that the government chose. So these quangos, established by the Labour Party in the 90s, well they were staffed fully by Labour loyalists, lefties, communists, the like. All the people ideologically aligned with the ambitions of people like Tony Blair and Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham. All these kind of people, these are the people that staffed the Quangos. And effectively, what this meant was that there were now huge areas of governance that are not directly under the control of the Prime Minister. Therefore, they can, you know, they they could effectively appear as if they're attempting to solve an issue. But the the expert class that populates the Quango says no. And for all intents and purposes, the government can then say, well, we tried to solve this, but the experts said it was impossible or it wasn't expedient to do so. So that they can kind of have their cake and eat it too with that. They can keep people on side and making it appear that, you know, they're trying to they're trying to achieve what we want them to achieve without ever having the intention to do it. This meant that effectively, even were Labour to lose the election, they would still have their staff in place, their operatives ideally situated to enact their policies and to support their vision for the future of the country. And this would make it impossible really to make meaningful changes. This is why things seem to be going on rails since the Blair years, because so many things were divested to the Quangos. So they are in charge, these unaccountable bodies. We don't elect people to the Quangos. No, no, no. They are selected by staff that were put in place by political operatives like Blair, like Stormer. Yeah, they selected the people that go into these Quangos. And those Quangos effectively run the country on behalf of the government, giving the government kind of shield and a level of deniability. When things go wrong, they can always blame this body or that body, and they never have to take accountability. But at the same time, these quangos can never be held accountable because we don't elect them. So we don't like the way that they're operating. We can't just vote them out of office. That's not how it works, and that was kind of the intention of divesting all this power to them. Fast forward to the present day, and the current Labor Prime Minister wants to further decentralize power by giving mayors more and more power. And these mayors are at least accountable to the electorate. We don't like the way that they're operating, the things that they're doing. We can get rid of them. On paper at least. Now I I imagine some of this might be born out of frustration for things that Burnham himself wanted to achieve while he was the mayor of Manchester, and realizing that there's actually quite a severe limitation on his power as mayor. You know, there are there are many, many things that Burnham spent money on during his time, you know, and as mayor of Manchester, he effectively ran the council into the ground. It's in over a billion pounds worth of debt. Financially, it's yeah, not viable. But because he he wasn't really held to account on that, he could just borrow more and more from the central government, he was able to implement a lot of things. But there were still limits on his power. So I think he would quite like to divest power to Mayors to account for that. But I also think there's something a little bit more sinister at play. I think that a lot of the sort of left-wing establishment have realised the direction of travel in the country. They've realised the way things are heading, they're probably not going to get elected again. Now there are a lot of people who still have their eyes tightly, tightly shut that don't see the dire straits that we're actually in. And these people who quite often blindly vote for the left-wing policies. They will vote Labour because their grandparents voted Labour, and their great grandparents voted Labour. They will do these things, they will vote for these parties because they they sound nice, they've got the good sales pitch that we spoke about before. They can feel compassionate, you know, they can feel like uh they're doing a good thing. And so there's always going to be a large amount of support for lefty parties, and this this can't be overlooked. But the progress made by reform and restore has definitely rattled the more left-wing parts of the establishment. And I think this is kind of driving this sudden desire to devolve power away from the central government because they've spent a long time trying to bring every area of our life, every area of public discussion, under some form of government control, government regulation. To now give that power away, I think speaks to the level of fear that they are feeling because they know that the right is closer to taking power now than it has been for a long, long time. You know, and this is obviously coming off the back. Just two years ago, we got rid of a uh reportedly centre-right conservative government, but they've been a left-wing party for the longest time. You know, they were completely taken in by the Blairite paradigm, and they never escaped from that. But the right-wing sentiments of the country are absolutely rising. Yeah, and I think if if the voter base gets engaged, you could see a massive, massive turnaround in this country. Because I do believe that huge numbers of the so-called silent majority are in fact right-wingers. Yeah, certainly by the standards of today, where anything to the right of Jeremy Corbyn is considered right wing. But I do believe there's huge numbers. Now they turned out for the Brexit vote. And these are people that don't tend to turn out at the elections, they don't tend to make their voices heard because mostly they've been disenfranchised. Yeah, they become disenchanted and jaded with the entire democratic process and they don't take part. If those people wake up, the left's grasp on power is extremely tenuous. So this effort to devolve power away from the central government is something akin to removing the resources and the power base from Moscow ahead of Napoleon's advance. It's a kind of way of ensuring that should the right take control of the central government, there's very little that it'll actually be able to achieve. It's a way of solidifying urban centres primarily, places like Manchester, you know, into a left-wing existence. Yeah, the way that the Quangos did. You know, they kind of cemented leftism into our very constitution, into the very makeup of our political landscape. Yeah, I do believe that this attempt to devolve power is an attempt to put a stumbling block in the way of the insurgent right, so that should we take control, we won't be able to enact changes. We won't be able to root out leftism from the urban centres, which will eventually pave the way for a return to power for the left. Now these these kind of tricks, they're they're nothing new. The left are very, very good at this. They sharpen weapons to use against us and then disable those weapons just before they can be repurposed and used against them. Which all this with you know the uh not too distant past we had cancel culture being quite a thing, where people would be you know dismissed from their jobs and and essentially blacklisted from public life if they expressed something as controversial as, you know, women don't have penises. This could get you cancelled, or worse. Yeah, this could cost you your job, this could cost you your living, this could cost you everything that you've worked for. Yeah, and then we got to a point where we started to think, okay, let's you want to play this game, let's play this game. And then suddenly they turn around and it's all about you know free speech and uh the importance of protecting people's rights to say what they want to say, just before cancel culture could be wielded against the left. Now it's it's one of those tricky ones. You know, I'm not in favour of cancelling people just based on what they say, but at the same time, these are people that will happily wield that weapon against me. So what am I to do? You know, I I I think when you you're playing a game against a team that changes the rules and brings extra players onto the pitch when it's in their favour and then takes the ball home just before you take possession, you have to start playing some dirty tricks yourself, don't you? But that's why I think this is this attempt to devolve power. And it's not only Westminster that's doing this either. There's also been noise recently, very recently, last few days, of the leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland seeking independence from the UK all at the same time, which would uh effectively be a dissolution of the UK, would it not? It'd be Wales is Wales, England is England, Scotland is Scotland, and Northern Ireland is Northern Ireland, no more United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Once again, I think this is a dirty trick, an attempt because you know people can see the direction of travel. It's an attempt by the leftist parties that have found themselves in in control of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Leftist politicians attempting to shield themselves from an insurgent right wing. Yeah, no, they they do this ostensibly because they want independence from the UK, they want independence from Westminster and from England. They want to make their own decisions. They want autonomy, they want their own sovereignty. Now this is of course an easy sell to the people of these nations. Yeah, the Scots The Scots for a long time have not wanted to be ruled by England. The Welsh, likewise, the Northern Irish, likewise. It's an easy pitch to them. Hey, wouldn't you want to govern yourselves? Yeah, and I can fully understand this. Yeah, I I want to be governed by my own people, and I understand that sentiment for everybody else as well. I've said before, I'm a nationalist. You know, my primary concern is England. The wider concern is Britain and Europe and the West, the Anglosphere, but primarily I'm concerned with my own nation. Likewise with a lot of Scottish nationalists and Welsh nationalists. Yeah. But these parties are overwhelmingly left wing. And in the course of their interactions with the British government, because we have a devolved parliament, yeah, so there is the Welsh Parliament, there is the Scottish Parliament, and their interactions, they vote overwhelmingly for left-wing policies. You know, not so long back, Wales declared itself a sanctuary nation. And by extension, that meant that Britain was kind of fair game. You know, you can land on the shores of Wales, where you'll be given unfettered access to the rest of the country. But these policies have been disastrous for all of us. Yeah, the Welsh are now outnumbered. In the UK, there are there are more people from the Indian subcontinent than Welsh people. Meaning that in Britain, the Indian subcontinent dwellers that have come over here are, in a certain light, a more important voter bloc to appeal to than the Welsh people. That's a really sorry state of affairs. So given this, given how disastrously they've been allowed to be outnumbered, you can't blame Welsh nationalists for wanting separation. But the party that's ruling them, the parties that they insist on voting for are not going to honour their commitment to upholding the Welsh identity. See these leaders, say of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, they're all expressing their intent to rejoin the European Union. So this, you know, why would you vote for independence from the UK, vote to dissolve the Union, vote for that, to gain your sovereignty, to gain, you know, your own autonomy and and right to determine your own destiny, and then immediately cede those things over to the European Union, you know, a cold bureaucracy that cares nothing for the history and heritage of its constituent nations. Why would you do that? That seems a very foolish thing to do, particularly given that that freedom of movement within the Union is pretty much a prerequisite. And I saw today that Canada has been linked as a kind of official partner of the EU, which indicates there are going to be closer working ties. And what does this mean? This means that there's going to be more ease of travel between Canada and the European Union countries. Meaning movement of people is going to be a lot easier. Yeah. Now, maybe I'm just cynical, but I just see this as another route for Indians to enter the EU, as if there weren't enough already. Yeah, I can't imagine all that many Canadians wanting to come over. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine those are the people that are going to be coming here. No, it's probably just going to be another pipeline through which Indians and Pakistanis and Bangladeshis can make their way over here. And in return, maybe we'll send them a bunch of Africans and you know, Middle Easterners. It doesn't seem a good deal for anybody, but this is what the leaders of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all seem really eager to pursue. And it seems foolish to me to pursue freedom, independence, autonomy, and immediately cede them over. Now I don't believe that the Welsh, the Scottish or the Northern Irish ever wanted to leave the EU. Yeah. As as a uh democratic nation, democratic country, the UK chose to. Slim margins, but but we chose to leave. And of course the Scottish, the Welsh and the Northern Irish felt aggrieved by this and felt that they have been dragged out of the EU by England, effectively. So of course I'm not unsympathetic to the wishes of the people that live there. But I'm just I'm confused. I'm confused by the desire for autonomy, and then use that autonomy to give up that autonomy. It makes no sense to me. Of course, the EU would be very, very happy with this because it would effectively allow them to pressure England and bulliers and cajolers into rejoining, yeah, into solidifying the union that to my mind served no real purpose. We always contributed to it far more than we ever got back. We were told what to do and when to do it. They said jump and we had to say how high. And when we finally turned around and said no, we don't want to do that, well, you get punished, and our treacherous leaders still ensured that we abide by their laws anyway. Yeah, they gave away our fishing rights, they gave away our resources, they implemented policies on us that have been catastrophic. Yeah, they signed us on for net zero and they told us, oh, there's a there's a crisis over here, you're gonna have to take some of these people. It doesn't matter that they've got no intention of integrating, it doesn't matter that they're openly hostile to you. No, no, no, you've got to take these people because you are a member of the EU. And when we point out, actually, we're not. Well, they use trade levies and things like this to basically force us to hit us with a big stick into abiding by their laws even though we're no longer a member. And all political establishment or political elite don't have the gumption to fight back, so they just sort of bent over and took it. Because don't don't forget, people, our leaders never wanted to leave the EU. Yeah, we were we were offered a referendum on the assumption that we would all vote to remain, and with the assumption that those of us that wanted to leave, those of us who were sick of the EU, those of us who wanted autonomy and independence, could be cajoled and shamed and propagandized into voting the other way. So it was a big, big shock to them. This is why David Cameron stepped down. Yeah, he offered his referendum and wasn't prepared for us to say we want out. Yeah. We have a political elite in this country that has no backbone. Yeah, they they'll they'll show a backbone in bending over to the globalists. And the globalists are just the international communists of yesterday, dressed up in a different package. And this this union between the EU and Canada is another step towards globalization. Yeah, the uh the refusal to enforce border policies in countries like Spain, yeah, just another step along the road. And we don't want this. But apparently the Scottish, the Northern Irish and the Welsh, they they do want that, or at least their leaders do. And they take advantage of political apathy in this country in all the constituent nations of this country to use a nationalist sales pitch while implementing globalist policies and drawing them into an alliance with the globalist EU and these policies are not good for us or our people and I don't want to see the Scots, the Welsh, the Northern Irish, I don't want to see them subjugated by the EU again and told how they are to run their own countries. Yeah I understand there are many people that feel that way about their membership of Great Britain. But that is much more beneficial for them than being in the EU would be so fast forward a year, two years five years and our nation, our country might look very very different. Imagine that they if they dissolve the Union and then the lefties the leftist parties in in power in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland they have their way, they rejoin the EU and Andy Burnham gets his way and devolves the centralised power of our government to the different mayorships at that point in time what will it matter if Restore or reform or any other right wing party that may or may not appear what will it matter if they take power? Yeah there will be nothing there will be no furniture left in the corridors of power there will be no means by which to reverse the damage that has been done there will be no unity it's decentralization of power. I see it is just another move to centralise power in the hands of the globalists under the disguise of I don't know decentralising a smaller government of bringing the electorate closer to the people that govern over them. Yeah because rather than you know there there are several layers of bureaucracy between the average voter and the central government and the and the mayors and the and the councils those are a step closer. Yeah they're they're they're closer to you than the central government is so on the face of it it might look like an increase in accountability it might look like the average member of the electorate is closer to the elected officials. But where's the power really lie with that? Yeah we could say in these urban centres they have been propagandized and diversified to a point where the majority of urban centres are irredeemably left wing and there there's no hope in a lot of these places to take power from them. And this is if you could even you know get close to a majority you'll never get an outright majority in these propagandised urban centres it just won't happen. But if you can form the biggest party you've still got to get past the left wing firewall. Now this is a problem you see in places like Germany for example anytime a party approaching right wing gains any kind of traction the other left wing parties form a kind of coalition to stop them in their tracks to limit the direction of travel yeah you you can't move to the right in Germany there's this big big left wing firewall there. So you could get 49% of the vote as a right wing party and the other 51 yeah th those guys they they they could be fractured between five six different parties but they will unify to keep the right wing out and they do this this this stifles you know 49% of the electorate huge numbers of the voter base are stifled and kept silent and misrepresented and told that they're not allowed representation and they believe that this solves the problem solves the right wing problem but it doesn't it just pushes it underground and forces the fires to burn hotter now hopefully with the traction gained by the AFD recently hopefully they can smash through that firewall and get an outright majority or at least get to a point where they can unify you know make a coalition with one other party and break the leftist deadlock. I hope that's what happens because I love Germany I love the German people and that's a real shame to see them being destroyed in much the same way as the UK is now at least as at least to my knowledge there are no efforts to break up Germany into its different parts you know there's nobody trying to break it down into Prussia and you know the the other regions once again well fortunately this does seem to be the the route that they're pursuing currently in the UK if if England goes right wing then the rest of the country may well be dragged with it because just of the way the population shakes out. So they're seeking to leave and solidify themselves into the European bloc once again so they can continue with their leftist globalist program. This is what they've always been aiming for you know the separatist movements Scottish independence it's always been aimed at rejoining the EU and and solidifying leftism within the borders of Scotland. That's a real shame because they're a proud people they're a great people anybody's ever been to Scotland you'll know they're fantastic people but their leadership is atrocious absolutely atrocious there could be some very trying and interesting times ahead based on this strategy of devolution so taking power away from central government dissolving the union it's hard to imagine what that looks like you know it is effectively the end of England it's the end of the UK you know breaking it down into mayorships and increasing the size of the local authorities you're effectively then operating once again as separate independent kingdoms like in the days of Mercia and Wessex and that's not the way I want to see things to go. Yeah but it does it smells a little bit of desperation to me. Now maybe I'm completely wrong maybe I am but I I smell a little bit of fear from the establishment and from the elites I see this as a scramble to keep power in their hands to you know empty the coffers empty the pantries in Moscow before the army arrives to deprive them of resources deprive them of the ability to continue the fight and to survive I do. I think that's a large part of why this is happening now. It seems anytime the writers on the march well the rules of the game change don't they? And we don't even have to look at political offices to see this at play think about how for years now you know leftist aligned groups pro-Palestine marches and hope not hate and different communist organisations they've held demonstrations and protests and everybody's masked up and it's never been an issue. Yeah think about the immense amount of people that walk around in burkers and we've complained for years we don't know who these people are we don't know if that's a man or a woman under there. They're driving around in a car there's no way we know if they've actually got a license or not because you put a burker on everybody looks the same don't they? But to the establishment it's never been an issue because it's there's people largely aligned with their causes that have been masked up yeah and when when there's been you know the Tommy Robinson marches in London everybody on one side is masked up and everybody on the other side is open happy waving their flags and just proud to be there. No fear about being recognised no fear about having their face on camera because they're not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately as time's gone by the writers learned that yeah just for being there just for being present just for having your face attached to this thing you can have your life ruined yeah you'll have people coming after you you'll be doxed you'll have your address and your details leaked online you'll have your employers contacted saying do you know you've got this horrible racist working for you and we know that the authorities turn a blind eye to the lefties that do it they turn up you know it was what was it last year you had thousands of masked up Muslims marching through Whitechapel yeah establishment didn't care certainly not the Pakistani Muslim home secretary Shabana Mahmud she couldn't care less as soon as you get these patriots the patriot platform you know down in Portsmouth and Dover wearing masks to protect their identity not to intimidate but to protect their identity because they know what's coming from the establishment suddenly yeah we have to ban face covering suddenly you're not allowed to cover your face up and they liked it when it was the other way around you know the left masked up and the right unmasked because it was easy pickings for them yeah they knew that well these people are masked up so we can't find out who they are put on the right side of politics well those people are all unmasked so we can go after them well the Patriot platform have been a bit smarter than that and they covered their faces to avoid political persecution and say now you've got the entire weight of the establishment coming down on it. You've got people like even from reform no surprise there really Richard Tice saying these people should be arrested for all you're calling them disgusting yeah they're they're containment reform containment you know my views on this but I do find it interesting that as soon as we started playing by their rules well the game changed. Yeah they picked up the the right to remain anonymous ball and went home with it yeah because say before they could easily if there was a troublemaker on our side they could easily identify him with facial recognition and go after him with the full force of the law well they couldn't do that and the the blokes down in Portsmouth and Dover peaceful no trouble it's not about intimidation it's about protecting identity but the powers that be well they've they've changed the rules again because we it's like I said earlier when we start playing by the rules that they establish well they changed the rules once again now suddenly you can be arrested for covering your face it was a bloke I don't know if you've seen him I think he was at the Portsmouth protest and he wore a burqa and they uh they arrested him for it and if you look on the video there's actually a masked lefty in the background of the video when they're arresting him face fully covered no idea who he is and they they completely ignore that because once again they're ideologically aligned with these people but if you or I do the same thing or you or I wear a burqa then suddenly no no no it it's grossly offensive and it's being done to intimidate and it's an offence it's criminal it's breaking the law and you you need to be punished for that so they change the rules as they go along so just be on the lookout for this of course one solution would be to wear medical masks you know the likes of which we were forced to wear during COVID wear those protect your identity a bit there's there's nothing outlawing them in fact they were they were mandatory just a couple of short years ago and it it baffles me you still see people wearing them even though they're proven to be ineffective and there's no real need to wear 'em. There wasn't no real need to wear 'em at the time but they're especially now. Look hey ho, what can you do about that? Of course the devolution may go even further than just breaking up the union and delegating power to mayors yeah maybe we end up in little villages once again obviously I'm talking about Piddington. Yeah I mean mentioned before tiny village and they're being forced to take you know I think I think the figure is there's 350 villagers and they are being forced to take over 1,200 illegal immigrants on a nearby military base. Yeah disused army base nearby now I have a certain level of sympathy particularly for the children in Piddington and for the people that didn't vote for this kind of thing but the people in Piddington do have a history of voting for pro-migration and refugees welcome candidates they held signs virtue signalling that refugees are welcome here and then when they actually try and put them there well they kick off and they they had a little referendum yesterday didn't they voting to become independent from the UK in protest of being forced to take these people that until not so long ago they were saying were welcome there. And I I find it quite quite funny really you you did vote for this and you voted for parties and candidates that were explicitly pro-refugee and pro-migration and you were happy to take the virtue signal points yeah the people of Piddington were really really happy to be seen to be welcoming and tolerant and all these things when it wasn't happening to them they never thought that these people would be on their doorstep yeah and now that it's actually looking like it will become a reality suddenly they're uh yeah up in arms about it doing referendums and talking about the safety of their women and children these same people have spent years calling us racists, Nazis, bigots, fascists, you know, thoughts criminals you name it anything they could any any word they could level at us to shame us for our point of view they've been calling us that for years for not wanting to deal with these illegal immigrants. Yeah they they didn't care what it was our communities being washed away our heritage or ways of life you know they didn't care when it was our housing estates being filled up with these people they didn't care when we were forced to compete with you know government agencies buying houses to turn into HMOs to house these people. They didn't care then they didn't care when it was working class people at the receiving end of this you know whose opportunities were being stifled by overwhelming levels of immigration or when we expressed fears about illegal immigrants who we we have no no possible clue as to their identity we don't know where they've come from we don't know who they are and what they've done in their past lives. We expressed these fears now Piddington I think the cheapest place for sale there is about half a million quid for a little bungalow. So it tells you it's a very you know well off wealthy part of the country yeah that's the cheapest place there. I think this has got a lot to do with why they thought it would never happen on their doorstep and let's be clear it is on their doorstep yeah these these immigrants are not going to be living in their community although it won't be difficult for them to access Piddington that has to be said but for us it's become a reality that they are not just on the doorstep but they're in the living room they've got their feet under the kitchen table that's how close they are they they've been integrated in air quotes into our communities they've been been installed in hot hotels in the middle of our communities they've been put into houses in the middle of our streets they're given free reign over our towns and villages and and where were the people of Piddington then well they were standing outside with signs, virtue signalling that these people were welcome. So my sympathies are very very limited Yeah I mean even today even today there's people in Piddington they only want the fuss that they are kicking up they voted to leave the country over this issue of illegal immigration being thrust upon them. Even today they are on the news saying yeah but other people with an issue with it are just racist and far right and you name it. They're still doing it so these people they they get what they voted for you know and it's a real shame say for the children and for the people that didn't vote to have this yeah maybe now more of them will start to wake up because say they they didn't care when it happened to our communities they didn't care when we expressed that we were concerned about the safety of our children but the way that the media is portraying this yeah you I mean you've even got like the Guardian on their side you know the guardian that has spent decades calling us people that didn't want illegal immigrants they've they've called us every name under the sun they've slandered us and smeared us at every possible opportunity but they take the side of the people of Piddington now maybe it's because you know the Guardian is effectively staffed by middle class lefties yeah middle to upper middle class lefties and it it it markets itself as left wing and you know for the people for the working classes this that and the other but it's staffed and populated by the middle classes and Piddington yeah they feel more affinity with Piddington than they do with the you know the towns of northern England that have up to date been forced to take the brunt of these people you've got a sympathetic ear from the Guardian I mean that tells you you're not my kind of people to be honest if you if the Guardian is sympathetic to what you're saying I'm not on board. But I find it astonishing you know the the the language that's used around this issue you know rather than you know where where we're smeared as being angry and ignorant and hateful the people of Piddington are scared and concerned and vulnerable we didn't get the luxury of sympathy from the establishment and it's many many tendrils in the media we didn't get that luxury we were just looked down on called bigots told us shut up and take it so why should we not take that attitude with Piddington the people that actually voted for this stuff the people that actually wanted it and the people that are still smearing us for siding with them against it can you can you answer me that one you know now I have no doubt that the protests protestations of the inhabitants of Piddington are probably a little bit more well phrased than we can manage because we don't have the parlance we don't have the vocabulary of middle to upper middle class people that have spent their entire working career dwelling in an office attending seminars and webinars on office speak and you know the politically correct way to phrase things and you know we don't we don't have the luxury of that we've worked on building sites and in factories and you know in quarries and all these places where you you say what you mean and you don't dance around a subject and that directness I think is probably what they take issue with. Yeah we we haven't got flowery ways of expressing exactly why we have an issue with it. We we just say directly we don't want these people here we don't know who they are yeah they they've committed a crime by breaking into the country they commit unsold levels of crime when they are posted around different areas of the country I mean you you watch Piddington like I say very well off part of the country you watch their crime rate absolutely spike yeah and the the the women of Piddington bless them you know they're concerned for the safety of the women and their daughters so hold on are you are you implying that these people might be dangerous? Are you implying that there might be some kind of risk involved with catering to these people because I I thought it was racist to do that. I thought it was bigoted to do that I didn't think we were allowed to express that hey maybe these people are pilos and rapists I I I didn't think we could do that maybe I was wrong about that yeah different rule book though for them isn't it what is it they call 'em nimbies not in my backyard yeah that seems to be that seems to be the the modus operandi of these people I'll Virtue Signal and campaign for all these causes as long as it doesn't affect me somebody will take 'em yeah I I can't remember the guy now but I I saw this I don't even know if it was Piddington to be fair but it was a YouTuber going around and he was yeah he had a clipboard he made himself look quite uh like he could get things done and he was going around to a lot of liberal areas asking them you know do you think we should be taking refugees and illegal immigrants this that and the other and the these people were saying yeah yeah of course we should of course we should and then he tried and get some details from them to sign them up to take one and they didn't want to do it because of course they didn't that's not their responsibility is it they're the people advocating for it voting for it campaigning for it protesting against the people that are against it that's all them well when crunch time arrives and it's time to put your money where your mouth is and take one of these people they don't want to do it. And I wonder why now I'm not blaming the people of Piddington for not wanting twelve hundred illegal immigrants of you know all males all of fighting age and all of unknown backgrounds I don't blame the people of Piddington for not wanting these people in their background their backyard on their doorstep. I don't blame them. I don't want them on my doorstep but they voted for it they want us to take them they had no issue when it was happening to us and now that it's happening to them despite the fact they voted for it they want our sympathy they want to cry on our shoulder not good is it not good but you know they voted to leave the UK so all will be fine right democracy in action they finally got what they voted for and now they voted to leave make of that what you will but um yeah thank you for listening people I hope you've had a good week so far hope you have a good week until the next one stay safe look after yourselves God bless you catch you on the next one goodbye
